There has been recently in this city. and
throughout the country. quite an alarming
spread of‘diphtherin. amounting almost to
I'l epidemic. The disease is one which
fitstens on children most rapidly. although
it attacks Idults with often fatal cfl‘ect. Its
chief causcs :trc neglect of proper IIuitIry
lll’fl'nltllnns In-i the inhalation of foul Icw~
er gas Ind of the emInItions from dImp
and nadir drained ground. We believe
that it is not realized. by dwellers in and
Owners of our city houses. how imminent
tltcdrtnger of such disease is. or else we
should see more efforts directed by private
individuIls toward the closing up of any
possible avenue of entrance for mcphitic
gairs into dwellings. It may be laid down.
as I gcncrnl rulc. that the ntcrcst whiti‘ of
sewer gas pervading it hall or room should
be considered as 9. signal of impending pct il
And not I moment‘s delay should inter»
venc before measures Ire taken to discover
its origin. If the drain pipes in a house
are properly constructed. there should be
no smell whatever ; and the first points to
look to :trt‘ whether there is I good trap in
the sewer pipe in thc culiur. and whether
there is :t ventilIting tube leading from the
aoxl pipe into I chimney, or to I height at
least two feet abo‘tfihe roof. If not. these
